Day 1… September 19, 2022… Perfect. I put up the Post-It Note up saying, “I check off the day as it Begins, because I Know I am Not Cheating, Not One Bite, Not One Sip”. I do this as soon as I get out of bed. This is all done from the heart, it is a Faith exercise. I’ve been here before, but I’ve never been Here before. As they say, “You never step in the Same Stream twice.” I don’t believe in Me, but I believe in Him In me. God plus One is a majority Every Time!

Day 3… September 21, 2022… No temptations since starting the Dry Fast. Today will be the first full day of Dry. It is Much easier than a water fast (Electrolyte Water only). I had muscle spasms often during the night, which made it tough, but that is all. Slept Great. Tons of energy during the day. I almost forget that I am fasting. I already put today in the “Win Column”! Not an Ounce of cheating. That is a Wonderful feeling. So, on with the day!

Day 1 of 40 or Goal. … October 3, 2022… Doing great. I have the Post-it Notes up for the 40 Days. It’s all mapped out on MyFitnessPal, all 40 Days. Electrolyte Water and Dry when I hit a stall. I am excited for Success! I am following my 2021 success. No OMAD for me. I do best with Fasting. An Excellent way to lose weight. After Day 3, it’s just Repeat. I will check in every day and Post.

Day 2 of 40… October 4, 2022… Ready for Day 2. Day 1 was uneventful. Long. I will move the Post-it over to the Win Column since I will Not cheat. I am ready for this week to be over. It’s only 6 weeks until it is over. Sounds better than saying 39 days! The weeks go by SO Quickly! The days? Not so much. It’s all a head-game to me. Win the battle there, and you’re good to go. So, I’m in the beginning of week 1… 5 more to go after that. Easy-peasy. I’m ready for it. The decision is the toughest part. The weight Will come into line.

Day 3… October 5, 2022… Bad headache last night. All night. Had eggs and decaf coffee this morning. That should be the end of it. Still Excited about the Fast, even though I took a short hiatus. It’s not a Sprint. It’s a Marathon. Onward and Upward. My oldest son’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Matthew! Hopefully see you some time this month, and all Fasts are off then. Maybe OMAD. And Right Back On! I have Goals!!
Day 4… October 6, 2022… Excited about today. Ate yesterday and was not pleased with the result. I plan on 0 calories throughout the remainder of October. I will put today’s Post-it in the “Win Column” since I will not eat one bite or drink one sip until the end of the day and then Repeat.

Dat 5… October 7, 2022… Doing Well. My attitude is much better than the last time I was on this journey. When I fall, I get right up and dust myself off and continue the journey. Falling is not Failure (unless I Quit, which I will Never do). Progress is more important than Perfection. Haven’t we all heard that before…? It’s true. More people fail than who succeed. It’s how you handle failure that is Critical! You have to admit the failure and continue rather than to fall into negative emotions or behavior. This Is A Marathon, Not a Sprint! So many are following you that you are totally unaware of and They have to see how you handle failure. And you have to handle it in a Positive manner so they know how they can do so as well. So, I am excited about where I am and where I am going and that I will ultimately succeed in this weight loss journey, and change the bad habits rather than to fall into the same hole again and again. Yahoo and onward.

Day 7… October 9, 2022… Under the weather today. Back on target tomorrow. Off to bed.
Day 1… October 17, 2022. Signing up for 40 days, hopefully in a row; breaking for Thanksgiving and if/when the kids come up for a visit, then back until I reach my goal… 130 !!! Paid for a subscription with Yasemin. She is almost Magical how she keeps folks on track without Threatening them!! So, I am signed for the month. Yahoo!
Day 2… October 18,2022. Very Successful first day yesterday. A little cold (45 degrees outside could do that also!). Excellent energy. Great sleep. No hunger or desire. Head great. Looking forward to today! First marker to look at is October 30. Then on to November.
Day 3… October 19, 2022. Feeling so calm and at peace. Feeling thinner already. Yesterday my head hurt a Little but basically I just walked it off. Took maybe 1/3 tylenol twice. Also took Garcinia Cambogia three times because I was tempted to eat, but Didn’t.
I saw myself in the long mirror in the office throughout the day and what would normally depress me, because of the weight that I Put On Myself, I was Not depressed because I was doing something about it and that picture was going to Change! That was so fulfilling! I felt Empowered! That’s a Great Feeling, and I didn’t take some Pill to do that, I did it by simply shutting my mouth! And it didn’t cost a Penny. Sleep was good. Today I have More energy and clarity in my mind. It’s going to be a Great day. I am Dry Fasting for the next few days because the scales did not move this morning. It might be too early (I am going back to bed as it is only 6:15). That can affect the scales, but I feel good about a Dry Fast, so I’m doing it. I like it better than Electrolyte Water Fasting and the added benefits are Mind-blowing! I have put the Day-3 sticker into the Win Column!
Day 4… October 20, 2022. Still doing well. Slightest headache yesterday, again I could walk it off. Slight hunger but nothing major. It was not a total Dry Fast day, but really looking forward to it today. Slight weakness in the legs but hardly worth mentioning. All in all a very good day. Looking forward to Day 4, Dry Fast day.
Day 5… October 21, 2022. Ate today after having a coffee with cream. Had 3 eggs soft scrambled. That’s it. Tomorrow Liquid. EW and that’s it. Political energy got me side-tracked and an emotional encounter. Not good. So I had coffee. After that, eggs for an OMAD. More emotion is coming so I had better stick a pin in this emotional roller-coaster.
Day 1… October 24, 2022. Back to Square 1. I don’t mind though. I am adding other things because I have many more things to accomplish than just Fasting and losing weight. I started exercise today and I am Glad I did. I had NO Idea how out of shape I have become in just 2 short years! I did not realize that it would be a Chore getting up Off The Floor! I assumed I could get up the way I always have in the last many years of my life that I have worked out. BOY, was I Wrong. I had to ask the Lord how to get up because muscles I could always depend on in the past, I could not depend on now. RUDE Awakening. Then I had to PRAY Vigorously and Demand that I had no broken Blood vessels, Ligaments or Bones as I attempted and Failed to get up had proven to be! I may be able to look back on this in the future and Laugh, but I did Not laugh this morning. How do people Make it who have no Intimate relationship with the Father, with Jesus and Holy Spirit of God?!! Oh My!!! God is my Life and my Salvation, and Healing and He Alone is my Wholeness!!!
So, Back to Day 1 in FASTING, 40 Days, in Exercise And in getting my Life in order in the remaining days of 2022. We have No Idea What All is in store for us, but we Do know WHO knows it all and He will make sure we are on Top of things He has put in Our control, Not Everyone else’s, but Ours Alone. And I have been MIA for Too Long. Today, it Changes. Who wants to join me? Take Hold of the remainder of 2022 and Present it to Him as an offering? Hearing His instructions and obeying?
Day 2… October 25, 2022. It is only Day 2, but you have to start Somewhere. My Dad always said, “You always have time for what you do First.” So, I am going back to putting the Bible first. For me, this is a necessity. The day went well yesterday but I didn’t get the cleaning done. My journal is set. I had some important decisions to make. Then this morning, Early, I read a post about two things. Carnivore eating by a friend of mine from Sweden who has been Carnivore Only for Years (begun due to fighting cancer, which healed under this eating change, as well as every other health problem she had). She is no longer bothered by mosquitos. Seriously?!! Evidently they like Sugar.
Then I read about a man who was viscously beaten for canvasing a neighborhood wearing a republican (don’t remember the names) shirt and hat, told that republicans were not welcome in their neighborhood. When I read that, I decided that If we have an election Nov. 8, I will proudly vote. Although I have not been proud of republicans either, there is More at stake than I realized. Vote In Person and Only on Nov. 8. Things are getting Tough out there. And I am sticking with the 10 things I want to accomplish in the remainder of 2022, but that’s a subject for another day.
Day 5/1 Where has the time gone… I quit yesterday. Then watched a few videos on water fasting and rejoined. So here I am. Tired of this yo-yo. Tired of quitting. I am of greater mettle than that. i did this before; I can do it again. Bob told me that last night. He Is my greatest encourager. Thank you, Lord, for Bob. OK, here I am again. Let’s Split this popsicle stand! (Thank you for Spellcheck.) OK… Where do we go from here? Back to bed. Then start the day fresh. I can do that. Night.
Day1… November 1, 2022. Joined Yasemin’s Fasting Group for November. Ready for the first 7 days but strongly considering the 21 Day Fast. I enjoyed that the first time, although I wanted to do 30 and stopped at 25 due to lack of hydration prior to a shower and hair-wash. Arms above the head to wash my hair is what did me in. I should have taken 30 minutes to re-hydrate from overnight or just drank during the night! and not drinking water then. So, 7 days and see where I go from there. Not opposed to 7-day fasts. OMAD or T-Mad and Repeat. We’ll see.
